690. It still depends on hard power

In the dark Bomi Boxue Hall, the lights flickered and the sound of the machine turning sounded regularly. At the same time, the lines and singing from the movie came from the entire Boxue Hall.

Sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes high, sometimes low...

This is a gripping musical feast, and it is also because the script of the movie itself is very interesting, and you won’t feel bored at all. Not only can you immerse yourself in it, but you can even experience the charm of an excellent singing and dancing movie.

Cao Yang watched such a movie less frequently in his previous life, and the most impressive one was "La La Land".

Sister Shitou's performance and the lighting in the entire scene... make people feel like a dream.

And now, "Resurrection of Leslie Cheung" brings Cao Yang the same feeling.

But these songs are all in Chinese.

When Cao Yang saw Leslie Cheung's first appearance, he was shocked.

Although he was mentally prepared, and Cao Yang was originally the witness and user of the earliest AI face-changing technology, he also proposed the creativity of this movie, but when he was really sitting down and watching the vivid human form in the movie, Cao Yang couldn't help but feel excited.

"My God, this is too similar, right?"

Cao Yang and Yang Junrong blurted out.

Although Yang Junrong produced some of the music, he did not see the specific content and pictures. What's more, most of the music in this movie was written by Jacky Cheung, but Jacky Cheung was not able to appear here because of his busy time. Otherwise, Cao Yang believed that Jacky Cheung would be shocked when he saw the results in the later stages.

This feeling is like seeing the living Leslie Cheung himself.

"Oh my God," Yang Junrong got goosebumps all over, and his scalp was numb.

"Is this really a special effect?"

Yang Junrong couldn't help asking.

The other people laughed silently after hearing this.

"Yes," Cao Yang whispered in his ear, "Brother Yang, is this technology good? We ask it to change faces with AI."

Yang Junrong really didn't expect that Bomi Technology is so developed now, and it has reached the point of being fake and real. In the past, when watching movies, you can see whether the special effects can be seen at a glance.

Moreover, after Cameron's "Avatar" was released, what the industry is more popular with is the sense of technology.

To put it bluntly, it is to create something that is more different from the human world but is more real, and it will make you feel the charm of technology.

However, when I saw the company's own production of "Resurrection of Leslie Cheung", Yang Junrong felt for the first time-

It turns out that the shocking feeling of doing things with fake things is not lost at all.

Yes.

Didn't lose.

In Yang Junrong's mind, it is worth it to see a living Leslie Cheung appear on the screen again.

Ai Xiaomi sat behind everyone, wanting to speak but stopping. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to say something, but now everyone is watching movies attentively, so it is not easy to get into the topic.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t grasp it just now, and I just let Boss Cao show it alone.

Among the people here, the only ones who have not watched the film after the post-production is Cao Yang and Yang Junrong. The key is that Yang Junrong didn’t even know what AI face change was before today.

In the whole film, Yang Junrong participated in relatively few parts, basically the music part was produced according to the requirements, and the music was mainly handled by Jacky Cheung. Yang Junrong was responsible for the production of all musical sound effects in the company because he was the boss of Bomi Music Department, and he was responsible for the production of all musical sound effects in the company, which was why he appeared in today's Boxue Hall.

...

Although there are many big-name stars involved in this drama, basically most of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is in it, but there are not a single person who came to Bomi Boxue Hall today.

Maybe everyone has made an appointment and will watch it together on the day the movie is officially released.

This makes it more ritualistic.

Although these celebrities all want to come and watch the movie, everyone finally resisted the impulse.

And what is more ritualistic is that

After Bomi Company received the Longzhang this time, the schedule agreed with major theaters will be released nationwide on April 1st.

The reason for choosing April 1 is for several purposes:

First of all, April 1 is April Fools' Day, which just matches the connotation of this [true and fake Leslie Cheung]. All the news released before April Fools' Day can be used to promote it, and it will be more topical in cooperation with April Fools' Day.

Secondly, April 1st is my brother's death day.

Leslie Cheung died on April 1, 2003, and choosing April 1 is of great significance.

Eight years later, it was released on his death day, which was more in line with the name of the movie "Resurrection of Leslie Cheung" and a more ritualistic sense.

During that day, Cao Yang had already made an appointment to attend the premiere in Xiangjiang. At that time, not only the producers, the executives of Bomi Film and Television, as well as Cao Yang, will arrive at the scene, but basically the entertainment figures in Xiangjiang will arrive at the scene.

I believe that that day will become very grand and memorable.

These are all planned.

...

The movie continues to play.

In the entire Boxue Hall, there is almost no sound except the sound of the movie itself and the sound of the playing machine.

Everyone stared at the big screen in front of them, feeling like they were surrounded by a room.

The main reason is that the movie itself is so fascinating. When you immerse yourself in it, you will not doubt that in the movie, the real Leslie Cheung has left this world.

Just like the name of the movie, in everyone's mind, Leslie Cheung has come back alive.

The total length of the video is 120 minutes.

After watching it, Cao Yang and Yang Junrong were so moved that they cried.

Even the film producer Ai Xiaomi couldn't help but secretly wipe her tears.

...

The movie has been played, and the entire Boxue Hall is quiet.

Everyone's faces were buried in the shadows, and no one stood up to turn on the lights.

I don’t know how long it took, but Cao Yang stood up like a dream and applauded Ai Xiaomi.

"It's amazing, Xiaomi, you guys did a pretty good job in this movie."

"Yes, yes," Yang Junrong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then stood up, and looked at Ai Xiaomi excitedly, "How did you do it? Why can you make the movie so well?

I look no different from Leslie Cheung.

Has technology developed to such a strong point now?"

"Hehe," Ai Xiaomi scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly, "In fact, technology is not that powerful, or technology is part of it. Brother Rong, the reason why you think it is so realistic is mainly due to the actor's own skills."

"Really or not?" Yang Junrong was shocked, "This thing actually requires actors? Does that actor look exactly the same as Leslie Cheung?"

"You can't say exactly the same, you can only say..."

Ai Xiaomi took out his cell phone from his pocket, then searched for it, and showed Yang Junrong a photo of Chen Qiangfu starring Leslie Cheung.

"Oh my God!" Yang Junrong couldn't believe his eyes at all.

Chen Qiangfu and the actor who played Leslie Cheung he saw in the movie have two completely different faces. Apart from the outline, they have a little similarity, they basically have nothing in common.

Chen Qiangfu has small eyes, square lips, and his teeth are not very good-looking. The facial features on his face seem to be pinched together by someone with his hands, which looks strange no matter how you look.

If Ai Xiaomi hadn't insisted that he was the male protagonist of this drama, Yang Junrong wouldn't believe it if he had been beaten to death.

"This, this..."

Yang Junrong has been doing this for a long time and doesn’t know what to say.

Because what I saw today really reached his understanding.

Who would have thought that the real actor and his image in the movie were so different, and Yang Junrong had no way to connect the Leslie Cheung in his mind.

"You tell me they are the same person?"

Yang Junrong looked at the photos on his phone, then turned around and looked at the big screen.

Although there is no play on the big screen now and it has become dark, he is using his actions to tell everyone that this is completely impossible.

I don't believe that this is the same person.

"It's the same person." Cao Yang said with a smile, "This is precisely the greatest charm of AI face-changing technology, which can completely turn one person's face into another person's."

"Of course, some details are not so compatible and perfect," Liu Guangran said, "but we repaired those small flaws together in the later production, at least not visible on the big screen."

Yang Junrong was completely confused.

It is impossible to tell if the large screen has such a high resolution, so how much does it take to distinguish it?

However, it is normal to think about it carefully, because Yang Junrong himself did not tell the difference during the movie watching just now, let alone ordinary audiences.

And the most surprising thing is that the difference between the actor himself and Leslie Cheung is very big.

...

"The performance itself depends on the hard power of the actor," Ai Xiaomi said to Yang Junrong. "As the starring actor, Chen Qiangfu has figured out many of his brother's behaviors during his lifetime, so he can do very similarly in the movie, which is also inseparable from his efforts and strong basic skills.

For example, if you join a character, you only have Leslie Cheung's skin but don't have his soul. Whether it is body language, speech style, or behavioral habits, you have not been able to do the same as Leslie Cheung. Then you definitely can't regard him as Leslie Cheung, right?"
